Are these (genuine) Richard Klemm miniatures?

 

Possibly Richard Klemm, a decorating company in Dresden.

1. Richard Klemm (RK Dresden)
Founded in 1869 by Karl Richard Klemm, this studio specialized in hand-painted, Meissen-style porcelain, heavily focusing on florals, courting scenes, and gilded accents.

• The Mark: Usually features the initials RK topped with a crown, often accompanied by the words "Dresden" or "Dresden Germany".
• Dating: Marks without "Germany" generally date to the late 1880s. The inclusion of "Germany" typically points to pieces made after 1891 due to import laws.
• Identifying Tip: Klemm often heavily applied gold leaf on the base to hide the original stamps of the porcelain blanks he sourced.

 

Sorry, I missed that you were looking for confirmation. I would say, yes, they are Richard Klemm.

 

Thanks!

Mine have a sticker of the store that sold these, and they cover a large part of the base, but there's a bit of text and the gold leaf visible

 

I thought it was interesting that they often obscured the marks of the porcelain companies that actually produced the blanks. Explains the kind of messy bottom. Lovely little items - at first glance I thought they might be Limoges miniatures!
